Perguntas frequentes
What counts toward CAC?
All sales and marketing costs: salaries, ads, tools, and commissions. Excluding sales salaries is the classic way founders flatter the number, and investors re-add them.
What is CAC payback?
The months of gross margin from a customer needed to recover their acquisition cost; under 12 months is strong for SaaS.
